Was wondering why the abandoned checkout flow I created is not sending. i tested it by going to the specific website I integrate with Klaviyo. Hit checkout button and waited for the email to come. I didn’t receive anything after four hours of waiting (as per time delay). The welcome email I set up was working perfectly fine and all emails from this flow was sent according to the time delay. Was wondering what else do I need to do to make it work.

 

Trigger is : Checkout Started

Flow filter:  What someone has done (or not done)

                   Person has: Placed Order

                   zero times

                   since starting this flow

From what you explained and gave as details everything seems fine, so I would assume either haven’t started checkout properly, your metric is not syncing, or you started a checkout with an email that is not subscribed to the Klaviyo account yet.

So check these things and if you still can’t find out what happened that I would suggest sharing more details here so I can try to give you more direct answer..

I would go about this in this sequence:

  • In the search box look for your email/profile
    • if it is not there then you need to subscribe first and then try again what you did before
  • if you are there as subscriber then see if the Checkout Started metric is showing on your profile history.
  • If it is not there first go to the checkout metric and check if it is syncing any data
    • if it is not syncing data you will need to fix the integration/metric
    • if it is syncing then it means you haven’t started the checkout process properly

Thank you for explaining everything vey clearly. I learned a lot and got a better understanding at how Checkout Started metric works and how to check if everything was set up correctly. When I tested it again I discovered that hitting the checkout button isn’t enough to trigger Checkout Started metric because at the next page that showed up I entered my email and that’s when Checkout Started Metric showed up in my profile but when I tested another profile of mine providing one information couldn’t be detected, so I entered my email, last name, click on blank fields to show an attempt of giving additional information still nothing happened. But after I entered the discount code that’s when Checkout Started was triggered and showed on my profile right away. Though, I’m not really sure why is this so.

Yes triggering the Checkout Started metric can be a bit confusing.. so here is article from Klaviyo that can help you understand it better
